Citing a book by a book by a single author has three main divisions:
Author's name. Title of the book. Publication information.
Here is an example:
Smith, Daniel. Our Crazy World: Consequences of Global Warming. New York: Farrar, 2002. AUTHOR'S NAME
The author's name must be reversed for alphabetizing. Do this by adding a comma after the last name. Add a period after the complete name.
EXAMPLE: Smith, Daniel.
Never abbreviate a name given in full, but you use initials if the title page does. EXAMPLE: Eliot, T.S. or McLuhan, H. Marshal
Always omit titles, affiliations, and degrees that precede or follow names: ON TITLE PAGE
Anthony Boyle, PhD
Sister Jean Daniel
Sir Philip Sidney IN WORKS-CITED LIST
Boyle, Anthony.
Daniel, Jean
Sidney, Philip
A suffix that is an essential part of the name-like Jr. or a roman numeral-you include it after the given name, preceded by a comma. EXAMPLE: Rockefeller, John D.roman numeral
Publication Info.
Give the city of publication, the publisher's name, and the year of the publication.
An Anthology
An anthology is a book that contains related works from many different authors. To cite an anthology that was edited or compiled by someone whose name appears on the title page, begin your entry with the editor's name/ compiler's name, followed by ed. or comp. EXAMPLE: Lopate, Phillip, ed. The Art of the Personal Essay: An Anthology from the Classical Era to the Present. New York: Anchor-Doubleday,1994.
To cite a work within an anthology, you need to add this information: the specific author's name, the specific title of the work, and the page numbers. EXAMPLE: Allende, Isabel. "Toad's Mouth." The Art of the Personal Essay: An Anthology from the classical Era to the Present. Ed. Phillip Lopate. New York: Anchor-Doubleday, 1994. 83-88.
TWO OR MORE BOOKS BY THE SAME AUTHOR:
To cite two or more books by the same author, give the name in the first entry only. In place of the name type three hyphens, followed by a period and the title. EXAMPLE:
Borrof, Marie. Language and the Past. Chicago: U of Chicago P, 1979.
---. Sir Gawain and the Green knight. New York: Norton, 1967.
A BOOK BY TWO OR MORE AUTHORS:
To cite a book by two or more authors, give their names in the order they come on the title page. Reverse only the name of the first author, add a comma, and give the other names in the normal form. Place a period after the last name. EXAMPLE:
Eggins, Suzanne, and Diana Slade. Analyzing Casual Conversations. London: Cassell,1997.
If there are more than three authors, you may name only the first and add et al., or you could give the names in full.
